fewer firefighters. the nationwide standard forgetting to a fire is 6 minutes, 90% of the time. but the goal in san jose is 8 minutes in 80% of the time. in the past couple of years, san jose has laid off 50 firefighters and taken about half a dozen fire engines out of service. but reports indicated response times were not impacted. now it turns out a computer glitch was to blame for the false reports. san jose's response types are among the slowest in the country. >> we're looking to save lives and property. if we show numbers that -- or the numbers come out saying we are not achieving what we should be then we need some investment into this organization so that we can do better. >> and help is on the way. grants are paying to replace laid-off firefighters and 31 recruits are scheduled to graduate in the spring. coming up, a second inquest into the death of amy winehouse is released. >> plus, silent danger.

everyone is going to get a check. so let me be clear about that. the second part of the deal, bangs are going to provide $5.2 billion of mortgage relief to current homeowners. that could mean lower rates or a reduction in outstanding principal for some folks. each of the participating banks is going to pay a different amount. the deal could get bigger. four large banks haven't signed off on this and two bank holding companies morgan stanley and goldman sachs. none of them have signed on. this deal could go to close to $11 billion according to some of the folks i spoke to. >> is this deal better for banks on consumers. >> reporter: you know, consumer advocates were going nutty yesterday. they said the cash payment part of this is only going to be a few hundred dollars. i want to really reiterate regulators who i spoke to said that amount is just the beginning part. it could rise to over $100,000 if your situation is deemed severe. it is a welcome relief to homeowners who have not been

able to qualify for a refinancing. but let me be also honest. this is a fantastic deal for the banks. the money is much less than the onerous process of hiring independent consultants and this really helps them put the mortgage settlements behind them. >> what should you do if you want to get in on the deal? >> so if you are an eligible borrower, you could receive again a range of compensation starting at a few hundred thousand dollars up to $125,000. again, depends on the error. the deal here is you don't have to file anything. a lot of people have filed requests for review of their foreclosures. you don't need to do that. you don't need to take further action. if you are one of the affected people, you will be contacted by a payment agent by the end of the march with details. and we have more information on this deal and how it affects you on moneywatch.com. >> okay, jill schlesinger, editor at large for cbsmoneywatch.com, thank you. a new york couple who lost their home in superstorm sandy has two problems with their

insurance company today. the first complaint from sheila and dominic trainor is about the payment they got for their home that was destroyed last november. allstate sent them $10,000. then the insurance company featured their home in an ad promoting its customer service in a neighborhood that president obama had toured. >> allstate used our house as a commercial that they have caring agents. well, how caring could they be? >> allstate says it has pulled the ad that featured the family's home and now they are trying to decide what to do with the $10,000 they got for their house. the consumer electronics show is expected to be the biggest yet. more than 3200 people are showing off the latest gadgets from more than 150 countries. cnet editor-at-large brian cooley is in las vegas with someone of the top tech trends of 2013. i think you're in heaven there,

brian. >> reporter: just a little bit! first of all, i'm sitting here at sony. i can't say it's their booth. it's their city of sorts. you can see over my shoulder one of the technologies very big here is a new kind of television that's called 4k tv. it's basically double the resolution of the best hdtv we have today. if you can imagine that! and when it has a 4k signal coming to it which is going to be very rare at first, it looks amazing. they say the television will be popular by the mid to late part of the year in terms of being the latest thing you will see in stores. >> very popular but also probably expensive? >> reporter: yeah. look at these to price above the best tvs we have today. so these will be, you know, several thousand dollars. could be $3,000, $4,000, $5,000, guessing on that on typical large sizes but they tend to come down. the tv industry was off a few percent for the first time in the history of the flat panel tv. >> and tvs are getting bigger.

we are talking up to 90". >> reporter: yeah, there are always these big tvs. you need to have your door taken out by a contractor before you can get it in the house. [ laughter ] >> reporter: those are mostly halo products. let's face to to say look what we have. we are mostly up to 65" if you are being ambitious. smaller than that if you are a normal person. >> all right, brian. we know you're the tech guru. what's your favorite thing you have seen so far? >> reporter: two things are amazing. one are the whole class of devices that lets you sort of monitor your fitness and your medical condition. your blood pressure to your pulse, what have you. and they all report in to your smartphone. also, seen some amazing technology that lets you control computers, tablets and phones in the future without mice, keyboards or even touchscreens. they are all using gesture control. and the last thing i want to show you is called the happy fork. i have it with me here. this is an electronic fork that convinces you to eat more slowly. the folks who invented this say

if you eat more slowly you'll get full sooner on less calories for your health and weight. so if you do a shovel full in less than 10 seconds between bites, it buzzes at you and blinks a light so let people at the table know, slow down, stop eating so fast. >> that's so scientific i can't get over it. >> do you think that will work, honestly, brian? do you think that will work? >> reporter: it's been sitting here in my pocket buzzing once in a while, yes, i would stop chewing when it does that. if not, the light will do the trick. it's buzzing again! >> we'll check back in with you again. brian cooley, thank you. >> he is having fun. >> that's like his super bowl. i'm sure they have security around him saying... [ laughter ] electric cars could get louder in the future. the ntsb is considering some new regulations that would require electric and hybrid cars to emit noise to make conditions safer for pedestrians who may not hear the cars coming. it would also mean a

congressional mandate. the sound would need to be loud enough for people to hear it over street noise when the car is going less than 18 miles an hour. >> you know who has a story about this? >> lawrence does, ironically. what a great segue. i guess you had an issue in the parking lot. >> i was out shopping in a grocery store and i almost got run over by a prius. i didn't look, you know, you're listening for the car. because they are so silent i didn't hear it. so that's a concern. >> sure you didn't have knight ranger on in your car? >> i should have taken off the headphones.
